SUMMARY:IRLE Director Speaker Series: Front of the House\, Back of the House
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, February 16th\n12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m\nZoom Webinar \n\nTwo unequal worlds of work exist within the upscale restaurant scene of Los Angeles. White\, college-educated servers operate in the front of the house—also known as the public areas of the restaurant—while Latino immigrants toil in the back of the house and out of customer view. \nIn Front of the House\, Back of the House\, Eli Revelle Yano Wilson shows us what keeps these workers apart\, exploring race\, class\, and gender inequalities in the food service industry. \nDrawing on research at three different high-end restaurants in Los Angeles\, Wilson highlights why these inequalities persist in the twenty-first century\, pointing to discriminatory hiring and supervisory practices that ultimately grant educated whites access to the most desirable positions. Additionally\, he shows us how workers navigate these inequalities under the same roof\, making sense of their jobs\, their identities\, and each other in a world that reinforces their separateness. \nFront of the House\, Back of the House takes us behind the scenes of the food service industry\, providing a window into the unequal lives of white and Latino restaurant workers. \nEli Revelle Yano Wilson is assistant professor of sociology at the University of New Mexico. His research explores how race\, work\, and inequality intersect in the new economy. His first book\, Front of the House\, Back of the House (NYU Press)\, was named an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice Magazine in 2021. Dr. Wilson is currently finishing a new book that examines the racialized and classed work careers and identities among U.S. craft beer workers. \n

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Victor Narro\, The Activist Spirit - Toward a Radical Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:The Public Interest Law Program at UCLA School of Law is hosting a virtual event on Professor Victor Narro’s new book The Activist Spirit –  Toward a Radical Solidarity on Wednesday\, April 20 from 12:15-1:15 p.m. \nBook description:  \nLabor and immigrant rights activist Victor Narro believes there is a spiritual core within social justice activism from which we can deepen our solidarity with each other.

To be an activist for justice is to love humanity and all of creation. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment and UCLA Labor Studies. \nRSVP HERE.

SUMMARY:Book Talk with Cynthia Cranford\, Home Care Fault Lines: Understanding Tensions and Creating Alliances
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Book Talk with Dr. Cranford\, Professor of Sociology\, University of Toronto and author of Home Care Fault Lines: Understanding Tensions and Creating Alliances (Cornell University Press\, 2020) on April 21nd\, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. \nHome care is a window into the complexity of inequality. Drawing from Home Care Fault Lines: Understanding Tensions and Creating Alliances (Cornell University Press\, 2020)\, this talk examines the tensions and possibilities for alliances that are essential for understanding\, and challenging\, inequalities in homecare. How can we arrange home care to minimize tensions and maximize alliances? The book addresses this question by comparing how four government-funded programs differ in the way they arrange home care. Focusing on the most personal in-home support\, that is paid help with daily activities like bathing and eating\, the book’s analysis rests on over 300 interviews that reveal how a variety of players shape the conditions of home care service and work in unique contexts. This talk will compare two of the cases illuminating the limits and possibilities of coalitions for flexibility with security. \nDr. Cranford studies inequalities of gender\, labour and migration\, and collective efforts to resist them. Her most recent research project is a\ncomparative study of home care showcased in Home Care Fault Lines: Understanding Tensions and Creating Alliances\, published in 2020 by\nCornell University’s ILR Press and co-winner of the Distinguished Scholarly Book Award from the American Sociological Association Labor and Labor Movements Section. Dr. Cranford is also the co-author of Self-employed Workers Organize: Law\, Policy and Unions published by McGill-Queens University Press (2005) and her work has been published in several journals including Critical Sociology\, Gender & Society\, Gender\, Work and Organisation\, Just Labour\, Social Problems\, Work\, Employment and Society\, and in several edited volumes. \nThis event will be held in person at Haines Hall A25\, 375 Portola Plaza\, Los Angeles\, CA and broadcasted live via Zoom. \nTo join us for the Zoom broadcast of the event\, please register HERE.

SUMMARY:Labor Speaker Series | “Is Formalization the Answer? Is Informality the Problem?” Waste Picker Rights Policy in São Paolo and Bogotá with Manuel Rosaldo
DESCRIPTION:Topic: “Is Formalization the Answer? Is Informality the Problem?” Waste Picker Rights Policy in São Paolo and Bogotá\nDate: Thursday\, October 13th\nTime: 3:00pm – 4:30pm PT\nLocation: Luskin School of Public Affairs Faculty Lounge\, Room 5391\n\nUnder what circumstances does the formalization of informal jobs lead to pro-worker outcomes\, and when might formalization intensify workers’ exploitation or deprive them of work altogether? Drawing on 24 months of ethnographic field research\, this presentation analyzes two ambitious efforts to integrate informal waste pickers into formal waste management. This research finds that formalization policies in Bogotá\, Colombia elevated the incomes\, conditions\, and voice of thousands of waste pickers\, whereas parallel efforts in the seemingly more favorable context of São Paulo\, Brazil did not. Ultimately\, these differential outcomes hinged on waste pickers’ levels of power to shape policy design and implementation. \n\nGuest Speaker: Manuel Rosaldo\, Assistant Professor of Labor Relations and Sociology\, The Pennsylvania State University\nLoading…
